T.G.I. FRIDAY’S® PRIVACY POLICY
We want to make your online experience satisfying and safe. We want to provide you with the means to control your privacy and give you a way to voice questions or concerns you may have.
When you use our website certain information about your online activity is collected. We use this information to determine our website users’ preferences, to design initiatives to meet those preferences, to eliminate online hassles, and to generally make your online T.G.I. Friday’s® experience more satisfying. Very infrequently, we may initiate a program, service or survey that requests your name, birthday, e-mail address, city of residence, zip code, or information about what you like and do not like about T.G.I. Friday’s. We recognize that the loyalty of our customers depends upon our relationships with them and we strongly support the rights of customers to maintain privacy of personal data. Don’t worry; at T.G.I. Friday's, your personal information is safe. We don't give, share, sell, lend or let other people take a sneak peek at your information.
Our Commitments to Your Family
Like you, we have children of our own and are concerned about their safety when they use the Internet. We want you and your family to be safe while visiting our website. That is why, consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection act of 1998 (COPPA), we do not offer program participation to minors and will never knowingly request information from children. For more information about protecting the privacy and safety of minors online, we recommend you visit
http://www.ftc.gov/privacy/privacyinitiatives/childrens.html.
What Information Do We Collect?
We collect information in several different ways. We collect the domain name of visitors to our web pages, user-specific information on the pages visitors access, and information such as survey information or other information that you provide voluntarily. Like many other commercial websites, our website may employ a standard technology called a "cookie" to collect information about how our site is used. Our website provides a direct link (among others) to the T.G.I. Friday’s® Give Me More Stripes® Guest Recognition Program site (
www.givememorestripes.com) where, should you choose to enroll, you will be asked to submit personal information, which will be subject to the Give Me More Stripes terms and conditions, separate privacy policy and other policies. In addition, we may from time to time provide direct links to news sites featuring articles about T.G.I. Friday’s, which would be subject to those sites’ policies.
How the Information Is Used
We use the information that we collect to understand your preferences and history using our website and related services. With this information we make it easier and more rewarding for you to use our website, any related services, and enjoy your guest experience at our restaurants (in the case of voluntary surveys).
Our ability to provide enhanced services may occasionally depend on our ability to develop summary reports for our advertising agents that contain raw numbers or statistics (but never tell them who it was that stated a preference or clicked on an option).
It is our policy to never send messages to website users unless they request that we do so.
Who Has Access to Your Personal Information
The information that you provide is collected by Carlson Restaurants Worldwide, Inc. (CRW), our parent company. In the case of links to our gift card and guest recognition sites, the information you voluntarily provide at those sites will only be shared with those service vendors who help CRW administer those website and the services they provide. In any case, CRW is the lawful “owner” of the information and each of these vendors may use the information only for the purpose of administering the website and its services for CRW, and will take all necessary precautions to protect the information. Ownership of any information you provide us will be held solely by CRW. We will not sell ownership of this data to any other company or organization.
We will not transfer information to competitors. Your information will always be used only to help us ensure that our website and any related services meet your expectations. At T.G.I. Friday's®, your personal information is safe. We don't give, share, sell, lend or let other people take a sneak peek at your information.
Information Distribution
It is our strict policy not to share your personal information or preferences with any third party, except as is necessary to operate and improve our website, or to provide any service requested by you on our website.
Although unlikely, we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide personally identifiable information to the appropriate governmental authorities. If requested as part of a legal proceeding, we will provide this information upon receipt of the appropriate documentation.
It is not our usual policy but from time to time we may permit other companies to place advertising on our website, and these companies may collect information about you through the use of cookies when you view or click on their advertising or content (using the same techniques described above). Due to the way the Internet operates, we cannot control this collection of information. You should contact these advertisers or content providers if you have any questions about their use of the information they collect.
There may be links that will let you leave our website, such as when purchasing a T.G.I. Friday’s gift card or finding out more about the Give Me More Stripes Guest Recognition Program. Except for websites directly related to T.G.I. Friday’s programs and services, we cannot control the links or their websites and we are not responsible for the contents of any linked website or any link contained in a linked website. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement of the website. The use and/or privacy provided by a linked website as to any information you provide in accessing that website is in no way subject to our privacy policy. Any linked website may have its own policy that could differ considerably from our policy, or the linked website may not display any privacy policy at all. In any case, even though a linked website is accessed through our website, we cannot be responsible for any use that a linked website may make of your information.
What Kind of Security Procedures Are in Place to Protect the Loss, Misuse or Alteration of Information Under the Company's Control
We operate secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our customers. Any particularly sensitive information, such as a customer's credit card number, is encrypted prior to transmission. To the extent that administration of the program requires us to grant our Service Vendors access to customer information, we insist that they implement similar controls.

By using this site, you agree to our Privacy Policy. We may also change the policy from time to time, so please be sure to visit this site often to see if anything has changed. If we post changes and you continue to use the site, you will be deemed to have agreed to the changes.

GIVE ME MORE STRIPES® PROMOTION RULES
The Give Me More Stripes® $8 Spending Reward Promotion is sponsored by TGI Friday's Inc., 4201 Marsh Lane, Carrollton, TX 75007. To participate in this Promotion you need to be a member of the T.G.I. Friday's® Give Me More Stripes® Guest Recognition Program. If you're not already a member, you can fix that by going to
www.givememorestripes.com. Simply follow the online instructions. No assembly required!
Participation in the $8 Spending Reward Promotion is subject to the Give Me More Stripes® Program Terms & Conditions, these Promotion Rules, as well as any additional rules or terms that we may post at
www.givememorestripes.com from time to time.
The $8 Spending Reward Promotion will begin at 12:00:00 AM CT, April 1, 2008, and is subject to cancellation at any time without notice (though we realize that would not be polite).
During the Promotion you will receive credit for each dollar you spend at participating T.G.I. Friday's restaurants for Qualifying Purchases. (What's a "Qualifying Purchase," you ask? That's one of the things you're supposed to read about on the Give Me More Stripes® Terms & Conditions on this website! Read 'em. Know 'em. Live 'em!). When the amount of your total purchases reaches $100 you will receive a spending reward coupon good for $8.00 (that's dollars, not rubles!) towards your next purchase at a participating T.G.I. Friday's restaurant. For each additional $100 you spend on Qualifying Purchases you will receive an additional $8 spending reward coupon.
Each reward coupon will be sent to the email address you provided during registration, in most cases within a few days after you reach the required purchase amount. You'll have to print and present the coupon to receive your reward. Your coupon will expire if not used at a participating T.G.I. Friday's restaurant within 30 days from the date it is issued; so don't put it in your safe as part of your retirement fund. Coupons may not be used towards payment of tax or tip or for the purchase of alcoholic beverages. The coupon has no cash value (unless your hair stylist is extremely gullible) and no change will be given for coupon redemption. Your $8 spending reward coupon will have a serialized code tied to your membership so you can only use it one time.
Lost, stolen or expired coupons will not be replaced. Coupons may not be used in conjunction with other rewards or discounts. TGI Friday's Inc. reserves the right to substitute an award of equal or greater value for any reason. Limit of one spending reward per Member per visit. Void where prohibited. Batteries not included. Action figures sold separately.

GIVE ME MORE STRIPES® TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Brace yourself! This page contains some intense legal language from our lawyers. (We really should feed them more often.) Please don't be offended; they just want to make sure you understand all the rules. They love their rules and we promised them that they would get a chance to write them down somewhere, and to use big words, and to pretend to be really mean. We doubt that after reading them you'll say "Heck, no - I'm not agreeing to that!" but read them just in case.
The Give Me More Stripes® Program (the "Program") is a customer recognition program that rewards enrolled T.G.I. Friday's® guests ("Members") for dining with us. Enrollment, membership, and all related benefits of the Program, including the use of this website (our "Website"), are offered to you by TGI Friday's Inc., a subsidiary of Carlson Restaurants Worldwide Inc., at its discretion. The Program is restricted to participating T.G.I. Friday's restaurants located within the 50 United States, excluding U.S. territories ("Participating Restaurants"). Your participation in this Program is subject to these Terms & Conditions (these "Terms"), including any changes made to these Terms in the future.
Still with us? 5 definitions in a single paragraph. It must have been a fun day down in the legal department! Hang in there.
ELIGIBILITY AND ENROLLMENT.
To enroll in the Program you must be a legal resident of the 50 United States (excluding U.S. territories), have a valid postal address with zip code and valid email address and telephone number. You must also be at least 21 years of age as of the date of enrollment. Businesses, corporations, joint ventures, partnerships, groups, associations, and other non-personal entities are not eligible to participate in the Program. Employees of TGI Friday's Inc., its affiliates and subsidiaries, and others who are eligible for employee-based discounts or benefits are not eligible to participate in the Program. Your membership is nontransferable.
To enroll in the Program you must complete the online application process at this Website, where you will be asked to provide certain identifying information, including your email address and telephone number. All information submitted must be truthful and accurate. It is your responsibility to ensure that the information you have provided remains current, and to promptly notify us (by updating your online profile) of any changes. There are alternative methods to join Give Me More Stripes® including, but not limited to, in-restaurant sign-up, text message JOIN to MYTGIF, partner promotions or websites or via T.G.I. Friday's promotions or contests.
Enrollment begins upon activation of your account, which in most cases will be the day you complete your online registration.
Upon successful enrollment, you will be assigned an account number. To receive credit for your meal, provide your account
number or the phone number you used to sign up to your server in the restaurant to identify yourself as a member. Information
about current promotions will be sent to the valid email address you provide.
PRIVACY POLICY.
Information you submit on our Website will be used as described in the Program Privacy Policy, which is described on another page of this Website. By applying for enrollment in, and participating in, the Program you are agreeing that we may use your information as described in the Privacy Policy. You are also agreeing to review these Terms and the Privacy Policy regularly so that you can make informed decisions about your use of our Website, your participation in the Program, and the personal information you choose to share with us.
PROMOTIONS AND MEMBER BENEFITS.
The terms of specific Program promotions will be disclosed at the time of the offering. Our Website will explain Member benefits and specific promotion details, which are subject to change at any time. Some promotions may include rewards based on the dollar amount you spend on purchases of food and beverage at Participating Restaurants. For more information about what types of purchases count toward rewards ("Qualifying Purchases"), see the paragraph entitled "Non-Qualifying Purchases" below.
To receive credit for a Qualifying Purchase you should identify yourself as a Give Me More Stripes® Member and provide
either your account number or the phone number you used to sign up to your server.
Give Me More Stripes is an email-based program. All member benefits, promotions, program updates, and account-based operational messages will be communicated to Members via email.
During an ongoing promotion, our Website may contain a summary of your purchase balance, listing the amount you have spent in Qualifying Purchases during a promotion.
We will credit your account with the amounts of Qualifying Purchases only after the Participating Restaurant requests us to do so. We are not responsible for any delay or failure to record purchases to your account.
Some restaurants may not participate in the Program so be sure to check with the restaurant location before you make your purchase. We will attempt to credit your account with Qualifying Purchases on a timely basis. However, you have the responsibility of making sure that your purchases are properly credited. Please retain copies of your receipts and/or account statements for your records. Any claim for purchases not credited accurately must be received by us before the end of the then-current promotional offer. We have no liability for (a) any printing, production, typographical, mechanical, or other errors regarding the earning, redemption or accumulation of participation credit or any other aspect of the Program; (b) any delay or failure to credit your account; or (c) any failure to provide Program communication. We reserve the right to invalidate purchases credited to your account if we determine that such purchases were improperly credited to your account or obtained fraudulently. We reserve the right to require proof of Qualifying Purchases recorded in your account, and we reserve the right to delay the processing of any reward, without notice to you, in order to assure compliance with these Terms. You are responsible for restricting access to and maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you agree to accept responsibility for the activities of anyone using your password. The Program is void where prohibited. (We just knew they were going to put "void where prohibited" in here somewhere. At least they didn't throw in that other standard line about other "exclusions may apply.")
NON-QUALIFYING PURCHASES.
Qualifying Purchases shall not include any purchase of alcoholic beverages, unless such purchase also includes food items. The dollar amount of a Qualifying Purchase may not include the amount of any sales tax, state fees, delivery charges, or gratuities added to the food and beverage charge. Certain items may be excluded from credit in a particular promotion. Purchases of T.G.I. Friday's gift cards will not count as Qualifying Purchases. Your account will be credited for Qualifying Purchases made with a gift card, but will not be credited for your purchase of a gift card.
Other exclusions may apply. (Oops.)
RESTRICTIONS ON USE AND REDEMPTION.
We are not obligated to apply Program rewards to pay for the following: sales tax, state fees, delivery charges, or gratuities. We reserve the right at any time to limit Program enrollment, or to establish different levels of Program participation or targeted offers that may result in promotions that are not available to all Members. We may discontinue your membership and void or cancel your account at any time, for any reason, without notice to you, including if we suspect that you have engaged in fraud or theft, or have otherwise acted illegally, or in violation of these Terms. These rights are in addition to any other legal or equitable remedy which may be available to us under applicable law.
You may only enroll in the Program for yourself, and may only participate in the Program using your own account. You cannot participate in the Program on behalf of other Members or non-members.
You should not rely upon the continued availability of the Program, or any earning or redemption offers, merchandise or other offers made in connection with the Program. All rewards are available while supplies last and are subject to change and/or revocation without notice.
PROGRAM OR ACCOUNT TERMINATION OR MODIFICATION.
You may cancel your Give Me More Stripes® membership at any time by unsubscribing here:
http://www.givememorestripes.com/OptinSettings.aspx
Cancellation may take up to 10 business days to finalize. During that period, you may receive previously scheduled promotional emails. You will forfeit your entitlement to any Program reward immediately upon de-activation or termination of your membership.
If you do not make a Qualifying Purchase during any 12-month period, your account balance may be reduced to zero and you may forfeit any Member participation credit you had accumulated.
We reserve the right to deactivate any Member account that has not earned a Qualifying Purchase during a period greater than 12 months.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to (a) suspend, change or terminate the Program, any individual promotion, or any member benefit, in whole or in part; (b) modify, limit or suspend the use and/or redemption of any participation credit, such as Qualifying Purchase credit, in any respect; (c) modify or change redemption procedures, including the amount of participation credit required for particular rewards; (d) modify, limit or suspend the collection of participation credit, including but not limited to imposing time limits and changes in participation credit values. We may make these changes even though the changes may affect the value of Member participation credits already accumulated at any time and from time to time. Your continued participation in the Program after any modification to the Program and/or these Terms will indicate your acceptance of any such modification. You expressly agree to assume responsibility for reviewing the Terms for any updates or modifications. If you don't agree to any changes to the Program or these Terms, your sole remedy is to deactivate your account (and forfeit any unused participation credit).
You expressly agree to waive and set aside your respective rights and obligations under any applicable law in the event of any termination of the Program or modification of these Terms to the extent that such law requires any judicial pronouncement for the termination of the Program or modification of these Terms. We also agree to waive and set aside our respective rights and obligations in this regard. (See? Lawyers really can be nice when you get past all of that "including but not limited to" and "sole remedy" mumbo jumbo. You can even train them to be gentle with cats and small children.)
MEMBER COMMUNICATIONS & PROGRAM PARTICIPATION.
When you join the Give Me More Stripes® program, you are required to provide your email address and phone number. The program is an email-based program, using email as the distribution channel for all earned rewards, program benefits, program changes and update messages and all promotions and offers available to members. If you no longer wish to receive email communications from T.G.I. Friday’s, you will forfeit the ability to earn and use Give Me More Stripes® credits that you have earned.

You agree not to misuse Program privileges by engaging in conduct that is detrimental to us, including without limitation: having multiple accounts; making purchases on the behalf of other Members; participating in purchasing or redemption fraud; or using any robot, spider, other automatic device or manual process to transact with or monitor the Program.

You hereby acknowledge that you may only participate in the Program if and to the extent that such participation is permitted by all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and that your application for enrollment is subject to our acceptance.

You agree to promptly notify us of any change in address, whether mail or email, by updating personal information on our Website.

We promise we don't have the slightest clue what these legal guys are talking about.)
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND RELEASE OF CLAIMS AGAINST US.
NEITHER TGI FRIDAY'S INC., ITS PARENTS, AFFILIATES, OR SUBSIDIARIES, PROGRAM AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, OR ANY OF THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS ("ASSOCIATES") SHALL HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM, LOSS, INJURY, DAMAGE, DELAY, ACCIDENT, COST OR EXPENSE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS OF SUIT), NOR FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (COLLECTIVELY, "LOSSES AND DAMAGES"), DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO (I) THESE TERMS; (II) THE PROGRAM OR THE WEBSITE; (III) ANY FAILURE, DELAY OR DECISION BY US IN ADMINISTERING THE PROGRAM; (IV) ANY UNAUTHORIZED USE OF A CARD OR ANY BREACH OF SECURITY BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL; (V) ANY OFFER, REPRESENTATION, STATEMENT OR CLAIM ABOUT THE PROGRAM MADE BY US OR ANY ASSOCIATE OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY; OR (VI) THE PURCHASE, REDEMPTION FOR OR USE OF ANY REWARDS WHETHER MADE AVAILABLE BY US, ONE OF OUR ASSOCIATES OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY, OR OTHERWISE. The foregoing limitations of liability shall apply whether the alleged liability is based on contract, negligence, tort, strict liability or any other basis, even if we or our affiliates or our or their representatives have been advised of or should have known of the possibility of such losses and damages, and without regard to the success or effectiveness of other remedies.
IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR AND OUR AFFILIATES' MAXIMUM COMBINED AGGREGATE LIABILITY HEREUNDER FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER IN ANY CALENDAR YEAR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE MATTERS DESCRIBED ABOVE EXCEED TWENTY-FIVE UNITED STATES DOLLARS (U.S. $25.00).
By participating in the Program you hereby agree: (a) to release us and all of our affiliates, subsidiaries, franchisees, Program partners, vendors, distributors and independent contractors, and each of their officers, directors, employees and agents from any and all liability, loss or damage incurred with respect to the issuance, receipt, possession, and/or use or misuse of any reward; (b) under no circumstances will you be permitted to obtain rewards for, and you hereby waive all rights to claim, punitive, incidental, consequential, special or any other damage or loss, other than for actual out-of-pocket expenses; (c) all causes of action or claims arising out of or connected with the Program, or any reward shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action; and (d) any and all claims, judgments, and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, excluding attorneys' fees and court costs.
Getting kind of loud in here with all of these capitalized words, huh? As best as we can understand, this is our friendly legal department's way of saying "if your boss fires you because you won't spend your T.G.I. Friday's rewards on him and, in your subsequent rage, you punch the wall and break your hand…don't sue us because that's your own fault…or maybe your boss's...but definitely not our fault."

Again with the shouting. Looks like somebody in the legal department could use a little more Friday's.
GOVERNING LAW
Your application for enrollment, participation, and redemption of rewards in connection with the Program are subject to our verification and acceptance, which acts shall be deemed made, performed, transacted, and closed in the State of Texas, USA. By participating in the Program, you agree that the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to any conflict of laws rules, will govern your and our observance of these Terms. Remember the Alamo!

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your participation in the Program, your entitlement to earn rewards through the Program, and your entitlement to any other benefits of the Program, and supersede all prior agreements between us, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, all previous versions of these Terms.

We are the final authority as to the interpretation of these Terms and as to any other questions or disputes regarding the Program or any reward.
Well, now. That seems a little heavy-handed. Tell you what; if you have any problems or questions just contact us at
